[QUOTE="Johnathan Aulabaugh, post: 38197, member: 7698"] there is also the USED section of places like borrow lens and other places where you can get better lenses for a little less $$$ here is my take. Most wildlife action happens early in the morning or late evening. when shooting a long lens (for wildlife) your shutter speed should be no less that the focal length your shooting for a stationary subject, ie, if your shooting a 300mm, your shutter speed should never dip below 1/300 for a still animal. that number goes up substantially with an animal on the move. but for tack sharp images I try to keep my shutter above 1000 and even up to 3000 in full daylight with some animals. At that shutter speed an f5.6 is just to slow even at an iso 400. I have tested the sigma and still bought the 70-200. And on that note, that 100-400 mentioned above sounds soooo good, although I use the 70-200 on other genres of photography often. [/QUOTE]
